• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 1/4 teaspoon
• Lime juice - 2 tablespoons
• Fresh mango - 1 medium, diced

Steps

1. Rinse the sticky rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for at least 30 minutes.
2. Drain the soaked rice and steam it in a steamer basket lined with cheesecloth for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
3. In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, sugar, and salt. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, then remove from heat.
